It would be good if you could let us know ('what happens')!Thanks for all the replies. I’ve stated to them what I’m looking to do so I’ll see what happens!
Kind Regards, John

Of course, we've been talking about '1-way' switching. If any of the switching is '2-way' then that in itself needs 3C+E
For those of us who have misplaced* our big red, err green, err yellow, err skybluepinkwithyellowspots book - do I take it from following comments that it says something about considering future maintenance and alterations ?Has anyone ever noticed 559.5.1.208?
The joys of modern construction methods - fix one (IMO) non-problem and make the building a PITA to maintain for evermoreIt depends on the house I suppose; pretty sure in mine it'd be easier to GOP a hole in a plasterboard wall than it would to lift any of the glued-and-ringnailed-22mm-tng-8x2 flooring boards.
Spot on (but only specifically about neutrals) ....For those of us who have misplaced* our big red, err green, err yellow, err skybluepinkwithyellowspots book - do I take it from following comments that it says something about considering future maintenance and alterations ?
559.5.1.208 said:Consideration shall be given to the provision of the neutral conductor, at each switch position, to facilitate the installation of electronic switching devices.
Well, that's one I've never seen or heard of before.Spot on (but only specifically about neutrals) ....
Nor had EFLI, who stumbled across it, nor myself (and I suspect nor most other people, either!)Well, that's one I've never seen or heard of before.
Ah - I'm very familiar with that, so should be able to help you - I think you'll find that is is "in a safe place"Struggling to think where on earth I put that darned book. We've recently moved, it was on my desk, I moved it to somewhere that wasn't in the way and you can guess the rest - I can't think where that out of the way was
Of course - didn't you know that that's where "safe places" live?Yes, it'll be in the last place you look.
Because Mr you-know-who's Law has already thought of that oneWhy don't we look there first?
I see it's not in the red book*, so it's a relatively recent addition - understandable if people haven't come across it.Nor had EFLI, who stumbled across it, nor myself (and I suspect nor most other people, either!)
Indeed it was. I started thinking back to "what was I doing when I moved it" ... and then I went and looked in the box of books I'd just put in the attic ... and there it was.Ah - I'm very familiar with that, so should be able to help you - I think you'll find that is is "in a safe place"
Indeed, and you can tell that by the format of the number ... I think that the "208" at the end means that it first appeared in Amd3 (Amd 2 was an odd one, which almost no-one noticed!)I see it's not in the red book*, so it's a relatively recent addition - understandable if people haven't come across it.
Published as a (free or cheap) standalone document, you mean? If so, I don't think so.* It's rather an expensive book to buy every version for occasional DIY. Do they publish an official list of changes in each version, or are people supposed to find them ?
Well done. I'm glad that I was "right"Indeed it was. I started thinking back to "what was I doing when I moved it" ... and then I went and looked in the box of books I'd just put in the attic ... and there it was.
